Never mind all this rubbish about blinds – get out there and do your duty by voting for your nearest and dearest Republican! Your country expects, and all that sort of thing . . .

Just stumbled across your blog and have spent an embarrassingly long time trawling your archives! Be careful with that pink toilet wish though. You’d be surprised how quickly the novelty wears off and you wish you’d just stuck with plain ol’ alabaster.

Oh, we got rid of a pink toilet, along with a pink sink and a couple tons of pink tile. I would have kept it all if it had been in good condition.

We have plantation shutters that are plastic of some kind. I wanted to get venetian blinds but the window’s span was too long. The shutters were not cheap, but have held up beautifully. No warping or discoloring. No smell either. I do not dust them. If they’re dusty, I just haven’t noticed.

Look for a pink toilet on Craig’s List or at one of those demolition stores. You need a pink toilet!

free, but a bit out of the way, good luck finding pinkness closer to home

I miss the white metal blinds with maroon fabric tape my mother had, they fell victim to one of her purges, would look pretty in your place,
I like soft curtains/drapes myself,
roman shades are possible to diy if you like the look

“no vinyl and that’s final,” creepy, weird chemicals, and hard to clean

Oh, to plop my ass on the pink seat of a pink toilet! I would drive the three thousand miles cross-country just for the thrill.

Any window covering you use is going to require some dusting/cleaning/shakeout, eventually, if that kind of dirt bothers you. Get what you won’t hate looking at day after day. And remember – you’ll always have your bathroom.

Fuck blinds. They’re a bitch to clean. Just get a can of that spray snow and pretend it’s Christmas all year round. Besides, the glory of a pink toilet will eclipse all concern for window dressings. Focus on finding the new throne.

If you believe that you will be wiping down your blinds at least once in this lifetime, get vinyl vertical. If you want to endure the extreme punishment of taking down blinds, cleaning them one by one, and then putting them back up again, enjoy the wooden horizontal blinds. Those are HELL.

But pink toilet seat? Always!

We just bought our first place and I splurged on real wooden blinds with beautiful blue cloth tapes and they’re worth it. If they were vinyl, I would’ve wasted so much time staring at them, just looking for flaws. GO FOR WOODEN!

I also bought a pink toilet seat with shells embedded. My boyfriend likes the blinds, hates the toilet seat.
